Man. They got the liver king on terrorism charges, possibly for trying to start a fight with Joe Rogan.

It’s not 2003 anymore anywhere in America except for CNN, Fox News, and the New York Times opinion page.

Three of the best journalistic entities that are covering all this nonsense right are a parody newspaper, a teen mag, and a magazine for nerds, and I am grateful for them (The Onion, Teen Vogue, and Wired)

Stockton, CA: Heavily armed masked kidnappers drove up in an unmarked car and pulled a landscaper out of his truck and kidnapped him. When the landscaping company owner asked the men what they were doing, the kidnappers assaulted him and pulled out a metal baton.

they never miss

UPDATE: Nick is in good spirits and recovering in hospital. The doctor told me the injury was so bad that they treated it as if it were a gunshot wound. Part of a stun grenade traveled deep into the tissue and was only visible by a cat scan. He sends his love and appreciation for all the support.

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Between the fires and these protests, I hope this year teaches everyone that most of the shit talking you hear about California and more specifically, LA, comes from racists and gentrifying transplants. Most people love living here and would do anything to protect it.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

This image goes hard.

democratic mayor in a democratic state with a democratic governor, all enabling horrific violence against people demanding the federal government stop kidnapping and disappearing people for the crime of being latin american

when it comes to less lethals you don't need ballistic armor, which is expensive bike helmet. Hockey helmets. goggles. football pads or just extra padding if it's not too hot there are always trade offs with armor but please if you go out at least protect your eyes and head.

We have a folks with makeshift barricades taking a slew of foam rounds. Tons of them on the street.

LAPD assisted by the Huntington Beach Police just came in full force firing munitions and with Horse support. Someone was trampled. Another has a serious head injury.

Just come out of surgery where they removed a 40mm less lethal round from My leg. One like this.

This is the hardest I’ve ever been owned online

As soon as you start reading history you discover that the concept of national borders is shockingly new. And as soon as you read about authoritarian governments you realize that border walls are in fact cages.

ok now we got entering *and* leaving the room all covered

“The extent to which society can be thoroughly transformed is determined by the extent of the transformation attained by women.”
